Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 173 – Seeing that August was silent and did not respond, Lucia took a deep breath
and gathered up the courage to continue to ask, “I guessed it right?” She wanted to use such words to provoke him to leave,
but she somehow wanted to know his answer in her heart. August raised his eyes coldly and asked instead, “Do you think my taste is so
bad?” It instantly made Lucia’s heart sink. August stretched out his hand and grabbed her shoulder, half pushing her into the ward.
Lucia was pushed to the side of the hospital bed. Before she could turn around, she heard his cold voice from behind, “I
promised Mr.Mitchell.So of course I won’t leave you alone.” Hearing his words, Lucia’s heart tightened, and indescribable grief came to her.
So he only took care of her for her father’s sake. It seemed that he had not taken care of her out of his own will from beginning to end.
Lucia suddenly felt a sense of depression in her heart. She bit her lips, turned around, looked at August with a serious face, and said word by word,
“From now on, you don’t need to worry about me.If Dad asks, I will explain to him.” Hearing this, August met her stubborn gaze, and his heart tightened.He
pursed his lips and he didn’t speak for a long time. The atmosphere in the room became awkward again.
August looked at her cold face, and his heart sank suddenly. A few seconds later, he raised his hand, pressed her shoulders, and sat
down on the edge of the bed, “Take a rest.I’ll call someone to take you back later.”
With that, he turned and walked to the window, took out his mobile phone, and called Burton. Looking at the time, he thought the event over there should be over soon.Before the call was answered, Lucia, who was sitting on the edge of the bed,
suddenly got up and said softly, “I’ll go to the bathroom.”
She strode out of the room.
The moment the door was closed, Lucia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and
walked towards the bathroom at a bit of a loss.
His answer was like a spell lingering in her mind.
As expected, she had overestimated her status in August’s heart.She smiled
mockingly.She quickly walked into the bathroom, took out her phone, and
saw the messages from Lyan.
(Lucia, Adeline is fine.]
[I saw the live streaming.How are you?]
(I’m back at the event.Where are you?]
Looking at several messages sent at different times, Lucia took a deep
breath and texted him back, [I’m fine, and I’m in the hospital now.I’Il leave the
follow-up work of the event to you.]
She and Lyan were the main planners of this event.
No matter what went wrong, the blame would be shared by the two of them
in the end.
They were in the same boat.
At this time, they must pay attention to the division of labor and not mess
around in panic.
Soon, she got a reply, [Okay, leave it to me.]
Lucia breathed a sigh of relief, washed her hands, and came out of the
bathroom.
Before she took two steps, she saw several people walking towards her in
the corridor not far away.
Seeing the woman in the front, Lucia was stunned.
Wasn’t it the long-haired woman in the beige elegant suit, Jeanne Kelly?
After a moment’s pause, Lucia’s heart tightened.
She turned around subconsciously and hurried back to the bathroom.Her
heart was beating wildly as if she had done something wrong and was almost
found out.
Needless to say, she could imagine that Jeanne suddenly appeared in the
hospital at this time, and she must have come here to see August.
If she went back to the ward now and bumped into them, how embarrassing
it would be! Moreover, she and August had nothing to do with each other.
If Jeanne misunderstood them, it would be even more complicated.
After hiding at the door of the bathroom for a long time, Lucia heard that
there was no sound in the corridor.She slowly stuck her head out and looked
in the direction of the ward.
Two men were standing at the door.
They looked like Jeanne’s bodyguards guarding the door with serious
expressions.
Lucia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was glad she had left the ward just now.
Otherwise, she would find it hard to explain if Jeanne ran into her.
On the other side, in the ward, August had just hung up the phone when he
heard the door open.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Jeanne walking in from the door,
looking flustered.
He frowned slightly and asked, “Jeanne? Why are you here?”
He had agreed to go to the Kelly family for lunch, but he hadn’t expected the
incident to happen.
Halfway through, he had told Burton to turn around and rush to the Boehm
event.
“August, I heard that there was something wrong with Boehm.I was so
worried.When I found out that you were in the hospital, I rushed over
immediately.”
There was a bit of anxiety in Jeanne’s tone.
But when she quickly glanced around the ward and didn’t see anyone else,
she was secretly relieved.She had seen the videos of the live streaming on
the Internet.
Originally, she was a little happy when she saw that Lucia was injured.
But she hadn’t expected that within two minutes, Burton called to tell her that
August had an emergency and might arrive late.She naturally associated the
two of them together, and she couldn’t sit still.
She immediately drove to the Boehm event site, and then followed him to the
hospital.
Jeanne stepped forward, stretched out her hand to take his arm naturally,
and asked softly, “August, what happened?”
August’s eyes darkened, but his face was as cold as ever.He paused for a
second and said lightly, “It’s nothing serious.Someone was injured, and I just
came to the hospital to take a look.”
Jeanne’s eyes swept across the ward quickly, refusing to let go of any
suspicious corners.
After confirming that she found nothing, she leaned on August and asked
with some curiosity, “Who was injured? Is it serious?”
“It’s nothing,” August said in a flat tone.
He raised his left hand slightly, glanced at his watch, and said softly, “Jeanne,
let’s go now, and we can still catch lunch.”With that, embraced Jeanne
gently, and walked out.
Jeanne was overjoyed and quickly replied, “Okay, I’ll tell my dad and ask him
to wait for us.”
They walked out of the ward side by side.
August raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn’t see that familiar
figure.He subconsciously frowned tightly.
Did Lucia escape again this time? How much must she hate him to try to slip
away under his nose again and again?
Just as he was distracted, Jeanne said in a sweet voice, “August, what’s wrong?
Is there something wrong?” Just now, she had excitedly said something, but he didn’t respond.
August came to his sense and said lightly, “There is still some work to be
done.It’s alright.Let’s go.”
Jeanne nodded with a smile, took his arm, and walked towards the elevator.
Not far away, Lucia huddled at the door of the bathroom.
Watching them hugging and leaving, She suddenly felt sad.
Why did she feel inexplicably upset when she saw August with another
woman?
